The explosion was spotted on July 31 at around 2309 UT and Earth-orbiting satellites registered a long-lasting C9.3-class solar flare. "The intensity is probably an underestimate because it was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw hot debris flying away from the blast site," spaceweather, which tracks the solar activity, reported.
While the explosion was powerful, experts have predicted that Earth is not in the line of fire from the Sun. Scientists are expected to get a view of the active region later this week as it comes to sight.
With the sun’s 11-year activity cycle ramping up, phenomena such as CMEs and solar flares are increasing in frequency. The Solar Ultraviolet Imager onboard the GOES-18 satellite, which launched on March 1 has also captured a massive eruption from the Sun. The Coronal Mass Ejection was captured on July 10 n the bottom right quadrant of the sun.

I saw that back in the 70s. Wasn’t bad actually.
And a Mighty Host at that.
Aw...how cute...they blow up so quickly...
I believe it is dark on the far side of the Sun, at least that’s what climate scientists assume.
Maybe the planet Gor blowed up real good.

Lol!
I see what you did there.
